Handling corn snake

Cute baby! I do just what Olivia and Riley do.

Your baby’s ready to get to know you in a new context. When you begin handling, don’t give up if she’s flighty or even nippy. Baby snakes are prey for a lot of things and are often defensive. (Don’t worry if she does bite. It doesn’t hurt. Someone once said it’s like being attacked by angry velcro.) At first, it’s a good idea to handle her on the floor or over a bed or large table in case she gets out of your hands.

Welcome to the hobby!
